" Little girl…" Big Sister patiently listened to me repeat it intermittently and politely said,""My name is Ai Kitahara, what's your name?”
"Ma Qiuqiu…"
"Qiuqiu, does that mean that this shabby shed is where Mr. Mu and Uncle Bing live?”She looked around Zhou Tong and asked in disbelief.
"Should…should be."
"Wait!" Ai of the Northern Plains wrinkled her nose and sniffed the air. "It smells so good! What is it?"
Under the guidance of her nose, Ai Kitahara opened the shed and walked out. My stomach started to growl as well. Only then did I remember that I hadn't eaten anything since yesterday. I quickly followed her out of the shed.
Mr. Mu and Uncle Bing were talking and laughing not far from the shed. In front of them was a fire made of wood, and the fragrance was coming from the fresh fish on the shelf!
Ai Kitahara and I squatted down beside the fire, staring at the fish with our eyes wide open and swallowing our saliva. Ai of Kitagawa reached out her hand to take it…
"Are you hungry?" Mr. Mu, who was busy grilling fish, looked at us.
"Yes, yes, yes!" We both nodded furiously.
"But our rule is to cook your own food!”Mr. Mu revealed his signature smile.
"Yes! Do it yourself! Do it yourself!" Uncle Bing, who had already charred the fish, frowned and echoed loudly.
"Uncle Bing, your fish is burnt!"
"Uncle Bing loves to eat burnt food! Uncle Bing loves to eat burnt food!" Uncle Bing screamed at Mr. Mu, who had kindly reminded him.
"Hehehehe…Alright then! Don't steal my fish later!”Mr. Mu said happily.
"It's just a fish. What's so great about it?”Seeing that she had been rejected and ignored, Sister Yuan Ai rushed into the shed angrily.
"What a temper!" Mr. Mu said cheerfully, then turned to me and said,"You also think it's just a fish?"
Although I didn't say it, Mister Mu is being too heartless. Roasting fish for two starving people and not letting us eat…No wonder Sister Yuan Ai was angry.
"There's a fishing rod…If we're late, it'll be difficult for any fish to take the bait!”Mr. Mu said with a smile.
I had to pick up the fishing rod near the shed and throw the line into the river. After a long time, I felt like I was going to faint from hunger, but the fishing rod didn't move at all!
Mr. Mu, on the other hand, sat beside the fire and started singing after eating and drinking his fill! Uncle Bing was even more exaggerated. He followed the rhythm of Mr. Mu's singing and waved two branches desperately.
Then…she was probably dancing? It just looked like a wild monkey in heat.
Sister Yuan Ai's self-esteem finally lost to her stomach. She walked to my side and patted my shoulder weakly before sitting down beside me.
"Any gains?" She stretched her neck and looked at the river.
I sighed helplessly and shook my head.
We didn't die from jumping into the river yesterday. Are we going to starve to death today?
"Watch me!" Sister Yuan Ai snatched the fishing rod from my hand and flung it forward forcefully…
Boom! Boom!
"Bang!"
The noise startled all of us.
The hook was thrown into the river, but…the roof of the shed also fell from the sky!
"My house, my house!" Uncle Bing ran to the shed in the river in exasperation.
"What happened?"
Mr. Mu walked over and looked at the shed floating away along the river. He asked calmly.
" It…it ran into the river by itself…" Sister Yuan Ai stammered.
Mr. Mu's eyes suddenly turned cold. He looked at the guilty Sister Yuan 'ai sternly.
"Is that really the case?"
"Just…just like that!" Sister Yuan Ai argued irrationally.
"What about that?" Mr. Mu pointed at the fishing hook and asked. I looked over and saw a small piece of shed cloth hanging on the hook. Sister Yuan Ai's lying skills were really not very good.
"How…how would I know!" The guilty Sister Yuan Ai replied with a flushed face.
"I hate it when people lie."
"Then…then what do you want?" Sister Yuanai's lies could no longer be concealed, but she still had to persevere and straighten her back.
"Apologize." Mr. Mu replied in an overbearing but very polite manner.
"What if I don't?" Sister Yuan Ai's temper flared up again.
"Everyone has to pay for their mistakes.”
" I'm sorry…" After a long stalemate, Sister Yuan 'ai finally said softly to this man who was completely unmoved by her beauty and strength.
"I accept. Forget it!" Mr. Mu smiled again. "Uncle Bing! Come ashore!"
Uncle Bing had already counted all the feces of animals in the world (there were also many animals whose names I had never heard of) and used them to describe Sister Yuan Ai and me.
"I'm sorry! He used to be a biologist! Mr. Mu explained to us with a smile.
Sister Yuan Ai and I finally caught two fish before the last rays of the sun disappeared. They became our dinner.
"Qiuqiu…can you go home now?”Sister Yuan Ai asked incoherently as she ate the fish.
"I…don't really want to go back…"
"Me too…"
"Why don't we stay here for the time being?" " This place really isn't suitable for humans to live in. We can't just live like this…" Sister Yuan 'ai probed.
" Hmm…" I looked at Sister Yuan 'ai in confusion.
"Forget it, what does a little girl like you know! I can think about this kind of thing!”
Sister Yuan Ai found a place to sleep in the shed that had lost its roof. Everyone seemed to be asleep, but I tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
I quietly got up and walked to the river. The evening wind gently blew the corner of my clothes. As it was already autumn, the wind was slightly cold when it blew on my body. Crickets chirped in the grass, and the sound of the river rushing made my heart a mess.
"Can't sleep?"
Mr. Mu's voice interrupted my thoughts. I didn't know when he was standing behind me.
"May I sit down?"
"Hmm…"
"What do you plan to do in the future? Have you been here all this time?"
Mr. Mu's words made my heart sink. I had to face the cruel reality.
"Ma Qiuqiu! You are simply a unique fool!”
The one and only fool!
The one and only fool…
"What am I in your heart?”
Then what am I? Then what am I…
"I hate dirty liars the most."
Filthy liar.
Dirty liar…
Their words kept echoing in my mind. I held my head in pain, feeling that my head was about to explode!
"No…I…don't know…"
" Sigh." Mr. Mu sighed." Qiuqiu, there are some things that you have to face on your own. Do you think I really care that much about a grilled fish? Just like tonight, if you don't get the fishing rod, you'll never get to eat fish.”
" S-Sir…" I looked at Mr. Mu blankly. His expression was so heavy that I had never seen it before.
"You can't be like me, always hiding under the bridge and being a savage, right?”Mr. Mu patted my shoulder jokingly again." If you can stand Uncle Bing.”
